***Founding member of the Cleveland proto punk legends the ELECTRIC EELS, BRIAN MCMAHON has unleashed his story, finally available in print. The very first BOOK covering the synthesis of these cretins of the pre-punk underworld is now available, written by founding guitarist and author of such acerbic classics as "Accident," "Cold Meat," "Splitterty Splat," "Sewercide," "Safety Week," "Jaguar Ride," and last but not least, "Agitated." Over the course of 300 pages, you can really crawl inside the brain of one of America's finest overlooked musical miscreants, a fascinating glimpse into the vivid details and sickening dreams of one half of the songwriting contribution to the electric eels demented noise. To be so ahead of their time with so little to lose, now just the utterance of their name holds instant reverence with the punk cognoscenti, but that took a while. Once the meat of their recordings was unearthed and had time to circulate, now everyone is tripping over themselves to drool at their feet, and rightfully so. First edition of 500 copies.
